There are telephone numbers within this document to call if you have concerns/complaints or other issues.

I have been actively involved in the issues for over 8 years, and was very pleased that the Saxongate Residents Group was formed as one of the main means of communication for residents.
Saxongate keep me informed on their communications and attend some of their meetings.
I have been extremely concerned over all these years, of the issues created by industrial site(s) and that no solutions have been offered or found for residents.

Connie’s Meeting With Geoff Capes 1997

On hearing the sad news of Geoff Capes passing away, brought back a few memories.
Around 1975 I had a local policewoman Susan V as a ‘friend’ but never materialised into anything serious, after my return to sea, she then started a brief relationship with Geoff.
(no competition then?)

However in 1997 when a ‘new’ stroke/rehabilitation unit was commissioned at Peterborough Hospital and my wife Connie was the Ward Sister.
The official opening was with Geoff Capes and she was somewhat  surprised at the event.
She was the  Ward Manager/Sister of the Stroke unit for some 23 years.
(1987 – 2010)
